U.S. stock futures are trading slightly higher this morning, as investors are closely watching the progress in the ongoing U.S.-China trade talks and the latest Brexit developments.  The market focus is centered on global trade developments with improved sentiment based on a report that progress is being made by the world’s two largest economies.  A Chinese news agency reported that Chinese Vice Premier He spoke via phone with U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin.  Tesla’s introduction of its new model Y provided some positive vibes which were quickly offset with news that the SEC filing charges against Volkswagen on emissions fraud.  Traders are also anticipating the release of economic data led by industrial production numbers and consumer sentiment data later this morning.

Support coming in today at 280400 and 279800, with resistance showing 282000 and 283100.
